    Lol no excuses. I've made it in the pouring rain before just couldn't get it this time. If I would have gone first I would have had a much better chance but 4 people went in front of me and got everything nice and wet/muddy for me haha. I gave it hell, Andy missed videoing my more spirited attempts while he was pulling his runner down to hook up to me :p

    Yes you can but at a point you sacrifice clearance by going too low. Not to mention you run the risk of cutting tires since the wheel would be damn near on the ground. I normally run 4-6

    How long does it take to air back up? Or do you not since you trailer it now?

    I only air up occasionally to help keep the tires round being that they're bias. It takes maybe a minute a tire but aired up for me is only 15 psi

    Lol right? I gave it hell though. 2nd & 3rd gear clutch dumps wouldn't get it. Hit it a little to the right once and brought the pass front a good bit off the ground and still ended up in the big ass hole on the top

    I was surprised how big the ledge is. I said "shit, didn't this just get filled in?!"

    Yeah, it was pretty much a boat ramp when it got filled, but all that rain opening weekend got it back to hard pretty fast

    I'm betting the hole at the top will. Lot of front wheels will be digging it out.
